Month: October 2016

Yesterday I went to Praise & Prayer at my church (Grace Church C&MA). It was my first time going to this type of event and I must say, it was amazing!! God is doing wonderful things, and just being able to praise our Father in Heaven and say some prayers with a lot of unbelievers could uplift anyone!

It was broadcast live all around the world and it was recorded, so I want to share it with you here.

Around the 58 minute mark you’ll see another video played on the screen… It’s amazing!!

As I was doing my morning reading (John 18), I was reading about Jesus being arrested. As he was being arrested, Peter drew his sword and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear.

Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” (John 18:11)

Take a look at what Jesus said… “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

What’s Jesus talking about?

What came to my mind is Jesus was talking about what was going to happen to him.

The cup represents Jesus’ life, and the Father had it all planned out. That’s why he said, “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” He was telling Peter to put away his sword and let God’s plan unfold.

How about you? Are you drinking the cup the Father has given you?

I know at times I feel like I throw the cup down and try to do my own things, but I know that I have to trust God that his plan, his perfect plan, will work out.

Remember, keep your eye on Jesus and drink the cup the Father has given you. Don’t try to resist. Just TRUST.
